what if i could make some money driving my own car? and help you, too, wouldn't that be great? >> your lift has arrived. >> thousands of people already do that, thanks to new cell phone technology that lets ordinary car owners offer rides to people. people who want to ride open an application. this one is called "lift." others include "side car." they press a button and that flags a nearby driver. in this case, me. >> we got one. >> lift makes its drivers put

this ridiculous mustache on our car. it's a marketing gimmick but helps the person who wants a pickup spot the car. i also have the passenger's phone number. >> your destination is on theft. >> and his name. >> tim? >> unlike normal cabs, lift drivers invite customers to get in the front seat. >> welcome. >> welcome, thank you. >> is this your first lift ride? >> my first lift, yes. >> where are you headed? >> tim signed up for lift because it's keeper than taxis. maybe 20% cheaper. >> i have friends who used it and arrived about it. >> he likes it that lift passengers sit in front. lift's founder says that makes for a friendlier ride. >> you see the pink mustache, the passenger smiles, the driver smiles, you get in the front seat, fist bump and it's a new experience of connecting with people in your community. you meet someone with different political police officers or different music tastes. companies have been formed with

drivers and passengers. >> thank you, sir. >> have a good day. >> no cash changed hands. payment by credit card only, and the price is up to the passenger. if he depend like me he could tell his app to pay me less. then he'll have a tougher time getting the next lift ride. >> i'm going rate tim. give him five stars. >> that will make it easier for him to hire the next lift driver. >> on to the next one. >> welcome. give you a fist bump. have you used lift before? >> i have. >> where are you going? >> why would she feel safe getting into a stranger's car? >> every i've taken so far has been very nice. >> first of all, not everybody can be a lift driver. my car had to pass inspection, and i had to pass a background check. but the real reassurance comes from the passengers and drivers' rating each other. >> you can see pictures of them and their car, they're -- their rating. >> you get bad ratings, can't

drive anymore. >> what if the passenger is obnoxious. >> goes both ways. ratings on the drives and ratings on the passengers. >> people get rides, i make some money. a great deal. who would object to that? >> taxi drivers, that's who. >> cabbies lined up their cabs, then let them sit, in protest of car sharing apps used in the city. >> new ideas like lift make established industry players angry. >> damn right we are. it's our family. >> we have to pay big money for licenses. we have to get fingerprinted. we have to have commercial insurance, pink mustache has nothing. side car has nothing. >> well, not nothing. there is that background check. and the ratings. but lift drivers don't have to obey all the city's taxi rules. >> they just don't comply with the law. >> bill roush runs the biggest cab company in los angeles. >> you want to ban the competition. >> we're not trying to ban the competition. what we would like is to be

competing with companies that follow the rules. >> but the lift cars have to meet safety standards. >> whose safety standards? >> the state's. >> they're lensed as private vehicles. there's no safety standards there. this is the honor system. >> actually it's something better than the honor system. >> if i'm checking my app and this driver has been credit seated by his passengers, that's not the honor system. that's the world policing him. >> that's all after the fact. >> in washington, dc, bureaucrats got so upset with car sharing businesses they did sting operations. today, however, d.c. tolerates services like lift. they became too popular for regulators to strangle. there's no evidence that regulated cabs are safer. >> in new york, licensed cab driver jumped a curb, hit a woman and admitted, i shouldn't be driving. that doesn't cry out for less safety regulations, and it actually cries out for more

vigorous enforcement of the safety regulations. >> of course that regulation makes it hard for outsiders to compete. >> most of the rules that exist in the transportation industry are designed to protect existing transportation protect existing transportation companies from competition. >> in many cities no innovative taxi company dars open. in nashville, tennessee, bureaucrats demanded that every car service must charge at least $45 a ride. >> i have to charge them $45 for going four blocks. nobody's going to ride for 45. >> it was all protectionism, to protect taxi industry. >> when he started metro livery, it was a great success, but the new $45 minimum ended that. >> we lost all our clients and they went back to taxis. >> he fought nashville's rules in court but the bureaucrats won. why would they want to protect existing business? >> because existing businesses

legislators for the laws to be overturned. >> despite all the laws sometimes entrepreneurs and their customers still win. room for rent website listings are up since new york's law pass ed. liam like alistair make some money, people like the hocktons save some money and they have an experience they wouldn't have. >> it's amazing, great, easy, fun. >> the cheaper taxi services survive. the regulators pounce and the business grows. >> yeah, the business is growing incredibly fast. we've had people say multiple times that lift has restored their faith in humanity. >> lift and sidecar are now in more than a dozen cities. the mountain man refused to close his camp. then his passionate supporters got north carolina's legislature to change the law to exempt primitive camps. sounds like the bill was written

just for him. >> it was written just for him. >> and they fixed it so that he was pretty much exempt. >> the mountain man teaches kids again, and the segueway tours continue. rj keeps moving people while he fights in court. >> look at that, everybody. >> matter can keep his magic show alive. there's a laep ending here. >> yes. >> after his story made headlines the government backed off. marty no longer must have a disaster plan for his rabbit. >> with a little magic and a rabbit, if at least for now have a stay in the rule. >> but you had to have such a dramatic story on the front page. most victims of big government suffer in silence, but these people fought back. >> he's regulators really do believe that they're making the world a better place when if you listen to all these stories, we are making the world a better place. >> some may never win, but it's great that they fight. >> good to be in a room with this amount of people. good to be here together, we're

not the only ones. >> they are the good news. but the bad news is in there and state capitols everywhere they keep adding more red tape. they should stop, but they won't stop. we'll stop. that's our show. thanks for watching. i'll bill hemmer reporting from the museum in washington, d.c., and this is a special photo exhibit on the legacy of president kennedy. there are gentle reminders of kennedy's 1,036 days in the white house but they also capture a moment of murder. 50 years later, why do so many have questions about what happened during those six seconds in dallas? you're about to see why.
